Fleet Holdings - Standard Officer Donations

When going to Fleet Holding and selecting the active Engineering Construction Projects V I selected donate Engineering and Operations Department Duty Officers to donate the the normal duty officers, instead in now takes all duty officers, green, blue, and purple. I did not realize that and donated duty officers I did not want to donate. This is a terrible change if intentional and a worse bug if not.
Yes, this on the xBox One.
Additional information:
1. This can make it where if if you have Common Duty Officers available to donate, the option is not presented only showing other quality officers.
2. If donating via Armada there is often, but not always, the option to donate the common duty officers. Sometimes the donation does not present the option for common and behaves the same as the fleet.
3. Sometimes if donating through the armada and to your own fleet you are able to donate the common officers. However I noticed if I only donated a few of the common officers available it worked the first time. When I tried to donate again the option to donate the common officers was gone.
4. On "Coordinate Colonization" it appears that Prisoners cannot be donated. That instead of civilians there is the option to donate any officers Uncommon or better that are non-civilian.
5. It appears duty officers that are bound can be donated as well
I will add any additional information as I determine it I do not frequent the discussion boards on a regular basis. I would monitor if I received notifications to discussions.
Work around:
1. An initial donation of some duty officers appears to work, however do not select to donate a group of Common duty DOFs as that will select green, blue and purple DOFs if there are not enough Common to complete the donation; very bad.
2. If you purchase a large group of Common DOFs to donate and open, if you have not already tried to donate you may be able to select and donate the common. Select individually not as a group and check the quality in the right pane to be sure as there appears to be an upper limit where the individual selection works. I was able to select and fill 73 at once but in a case where it was 115 open for donation I was only able to select a subset to donate before it tried to use green or blue DOFs. This was in a single donation where I had 73 open in the upper pane and 115 in the lower pane. I donated what I could and then selected "CHANGE CHARACTER" from options.
3. I just logged back in with the same character that still had common DOFs and was able to complete the donation. I had to repeat this procedure multiple times to fill donations in Tactical, Science and Engineering.
I issued a warning to my fleet mates to be wary of this bug least they donate DOFs of higher quality and hurt there ability to to complete Duty Officers missions.
This should not have been moved to general discussion it is definitely a bug. Not in necessarily allowing the multiplying of credit of green, blue or purple DOFs to give a larger donation, but in not accepting ALL Common prior to incorrectly going to higher quality officers. As a QA Tester the upgrade fails if it is an intended upgrade because of the unintended consequences of defect 1. not prioritizing Common Quality and forcing the work around as outlined prior, and defect 2: A reply indicated that it does not allow protected DOFs to be donated; I found that is not true. yet another example of why it is a bug. I am not adverse to the concept. I am adverse to the implementation and missed defects as noted.

It would be really cool if somebody could post a screenshot or two of this process that includes the user interface used to protect doffs from donation.
The "attach image" (and choose file) function just above the posting window takes care of any image hosting.
I'm sorry for your loss of non-common duty officers.
From what I'm reading this change to donating doffs only applies to console players at this time..
